GLORY - A Meat Music Sampler (USA-1969) @320

ACID ARCHIVES:This has caught some attention of late but should beconsidered an aquired taste only. The basic feel isof late-night spontaneous blues-based studio jamsrevolving around main guy Linden Hudson who sings,plays percussion and also coordinated the session,which was partly recorded at Andrus Studios of"Easter Everywhere" fame. A rootsy Southern all-nightbar feel evolves with a certain appeal, but thetracks are really hit and miss affairs, for examplethe vocal riffs on "Wish ta heck" are so annoying Ican barely listen to it. Despite trying hard Hudsonisn't good enough a vocalist to make it memorable,though jazzy wee hours keyboard improvs add the righttouch. There isn't much songwriting to talk of, morelike excursions from basic mood riffs. Any attemptsto sell this as a "guitar killer" should beconsidered dishonest hype. With a strong femalevocalist such as Lisa Kindred this would have workedbetter, but still remained a marginal item. Not surewhy this was reissued, really. [PL]
